Title
the mindful path to self-compassion Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions
Subject
Emotions.
Description
Why is it so hard to extend the same kindness to ourselves
that many of us gladly offer to others? Maybe it’s because
in our conventional way of thinking in the West we tend
to view compassion as a gift, and bestowing it on ourselves seems
selfish or inappropriate. But the ancient wisdom of the East tells us that loving-kindness is something everyone needs and deserves, and that includes the compassion we can give to ourselves. Without it, we blame ourselves for our problems, for our inability to solve them all, for feeling pain when painful events occur—all of which usually end in our feeling even more pain.
